Is $320 too much for these?

Recently got a 5-lug and want to upgrade the road tires the previous owner had to some 235s. I found these on marketplace and they look pretty good. Messaged the owner a few weeks ago and he declined my offer but is now willing to accept it. I noticed in one of the pictures the tires still have the little plastic hairs on them so I'm assuming this is a pretty good deal. I'm debating these or purchasing some Cooper Disco AT3s but the cheapest at3s i could find are still about double the price (not account install of either). Do you think these could be a good deal or should I just go with new?

 

Well, he's got $250 worth of Armor All on them, so.....

Best thing you can do is ask for the DOT date code stamped into the tire. First 2 digits is number of weeks into the year which is depicted by the next 2 digits.

Ex: 1319

Thirteenth week of 2019. A couple-a-few years old is okay but look for dry checking of tread and sidewall. Might be hiding that with the goo slathered on them. Check the inside for patches and plugs. A Patch isn't a deal killer but a plug should have been fixed correctly. Multiples is bad.

 

320 is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much.

They don't look great, and I always worry when I see wet tire pics.

 

What's the same tire worth new?

 

those are worth $100 max?

 

Not with all that tire juice on them. I'd pass on used tires, unless they are a really good brand and cheap.

 

Chinese brand tires

 

Good idea, ima make sure to dunk my tars in a pool of armor all before I list em for sale…

 

Understood lol. AT3s it is
